c:\> ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration

#2# When I type winipcfg (either in command prompt or in start-->run)
C:\>winipcfg
'winipcfg' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I'm connecting to ADSL thru USB Prolink wireless adaptor, to my home wireless router
[desktop] <--> [USD wireless adaptor] <---> [wireless router] <---> [ADSL modem] <---> [phoneline]
I can still serve the net without any problems :-
e.g. : I can still :-
1) update anti virus patterns
2) connect to WWW
3) download from http, ftp
4) etc ...
However, when I open my Window Media Player 10, trying to do "check For Player Updates", I cannot perform update, as it complaint saying :
An unexpected error has occurred. Setup was not able to detect any Windows Media updates. Please try again later.
I can't recall what has been done corrupting it.
Can experts pls kindly help me to root cause the problem, and provide a solution to it.
Thank you very much in advanced. :)
Best Regards,

First, Winipcfg is NOT included on windows XP.
A better tool could be used if you go to Network Connections, double click your wireless connection (or the connection you are using), properties, and enable "Show icon in notification area". Ok, Close.
Now, you have two screens at the bottom right, near the clock. It flashes with activity.
At any time, double click it and select the "Support" tab. Is almost the same winipcfg functionality.
I have not an answer of why it didn't show you more information with ipconfig /all, but I wish this is useful.
Good luck,

Looks like you need to uninstall your network drivers, reboot, and reinstall them.
Make sure you have the correct version.
Winipcfg doesn't exist under Windows XP.
